2001 Pepsi 400: Pre-Race Show (part 1)

[efan2011]

Hard to believe it's been Ten Years since this race, I actually remember watching this race and pulling for Jr. to win

[caseyreavis]

miss BP's classic voice...

[nascarkraz]

Does anyone know the story as to what happened to Bill Weber? I know very little except that he is no longer with NASCAR.

[steelcagechaos1]

@nascarkraz He was in a confrontation with a hotel clerk

[grungyflannel]

i couldn't stand dale earnhardt, i know there were millions of other earnhardt haters before he died. then he's gone and all of a sudden everyone loved him, it was terrible when he died, and id never wish that on anyone, but i still hated him as a driver

[Brian211978]

RIP BENNY!

[gelliott3]

I miss the Metallca background music.

[raider30376]

yo what metallica song is it ?

[gelliott3]

the song released on a Metallica album was "Fuel" but this is the demo version of that song, and this version is called "Fuel For Fire"

the album it's from is called ReLoad. Hope that helps.

[dalejrnation88dude]

@raider30376 fuel of their reload album

[AutoRockinRacing94]

Could Have Been Atlanta but it was at New Hampshire to end the season with only 42 cars, the last time that there was not a 43 car field.

[99boyz]

Greatest Hero?

Eranhardt wishes he was as got as petty

and as clean

[flyer2359]

Wow that's a good ole song the older NBC theme loved it :)

[thornwithin81]

It's "Fuel" by Metallica.  :]

[Akram91102]

I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO

i cant watch this video 2q

[Jrl24rules39]

Bill Weber was really annoying, but I'll tell ya, this year on TNT he was actually tolerable. I used to hate his announcing, but he has improved. Allen Bestwick is still better, but Mike Joy is the best.

[goknights39908]

but now on FOX his voice is heard not so much,

becuase of Larry Mac and of cousre, DW!

[Dalesr4ever]

I agree with Bill Weber there. The golden history of Daytona was tarnished on feb 18 when the racing world was robbed of it's greatest hero. To me Dale Sr robbed our hearts cause he was the man we all loved so much. DALE SR 4EVER

[lirr56890]

i sat right where dale crash.

[ENGLANDNEWENGLAND007]

Right Where He Struck The Wall

[lirr56890]

yes.

[4Tracer]

No you didn't because there was no seats where he hit the wall.

It's a 70 foot drop off the side of the wall in those turns onto pavement.

[biker7767]

good old days

[lakelandchief]

Is the race its self on?

[DakotahC1]

i was at the race wen he dies it was my birthday prezzi

[AutoRockinRacing94]

At The Time It Was At Atlanta the final race before 9/11 happened.

[MattProtrains]

Man, that looks like one of the few times Weber has a racing type suit on. Benny has just a red shirt on. Man that was nine years ago. Pepsi was a great name, 2007 was Great.

[SKracing]

que?

This was seven years ago...

[MattProtrains]

I actully forgot that Weber was a Pit Reporter from 01-04 on NBC when I wrote this.

[goknights39908]

oh, c'mon just the finish was great.

[MattProtrains]

But it was the final race for the old car style, I loved hearing the restrictor plate sound as the cars passed the camera

[GoDalejr88]

i wish fox would get complete coverage of nascar not espn or nbc they both suck

[embecca4]

AMEN :)

[CarMan792]

Agreed. Bill Weber's voice gets annoying. Benny Parsons was the best they had in the booth. RIP BP.

[goreds03]

i like espn a little more the nbc

[goknights39908]

YEAH! in 2015 NASCAR should tell FOX

to cover all 36 races, cuase there the best

NASCAR broadcaster, and there will be

more Boogityes!

[pwnzor3000]

2015, why not in 2010??????

GO FOX!!

RIP Dale Earnhardt

The Best of the Best!

[NascarMetallicaFan]

that would be awesome, but there's no way FOX would give up the NFL for NASCAR.

[ltnascar]

They dont' show the FOX broadcasters voices during when they show they first 16 races of the 2001 season when they show the winners because of the whole TV company rights deal.

But they show the radio voices on the 4:29 mark.

[ltnascar]

They cover the Homestead races in 1999 and 2000 but they cover an NASCAR race on NBC back in the 80's.

[ltnascar]

I think they might

[SHJ1011]

wow , talk about raw emotions...I all but cryed watching this thinking of Dale..

[Ruddfan1997]

Bring Back NBC, love that into music by Metallica

[lostfreakadam]

Holy shit!

You're going to show the 2001 Pepsi 400!

Thank you very much.

[ILikeCheeze24]

Dude Ive been wanting to see this for a LONG time!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

[mattkamper]

This is when JR won the race.
